Family ~ OMG, just look at Beau's page [pop]. Seriously, it's all there.

I don't know anyone who's going to Hogwarts yet except my brother, Beau.

Hogwarts House ~ Beau's in Hufflepuff. That is such a funny word! Ravenclaw sounds cool. Slytherin sounds kind of icky, but I like it. Gryffindor sounds a bit rough, like the when you say the name you're going to get a sore throat or something.

Thanks Cyndi!

When did you first get into the whole 'goth' thing?
Just in the past year. I used to always just wear what my big sister said was cool, but then I was like, hang on, I think this is cool!

What do people generally think of you?
I'm really cool. Like, at school everyone always wants to play with me and at dance everyone copies me. I'm also really smart, so even the nerds like me. But I think they might be a little bit scared of me. But that's cool, cos then I can make them do what I want. (She's a bit arrogant and doesn't realise it. Adults think she's too mouthy, but most people her age think she's cool. Except for the ones who are intimidated by her. They think she's a show off)

Are you happy that you'll be going to HNZ?
Yes, so much! But I wish all my friends could come too.

Do you get along well with your brother?
Which one? I have three! I guess you mean Beau. Yeah, we get on really well, but he can be a show off sometimes. Mostly he's really nice and let's me do whatever I want. Oscar and Will are way older and we don't really do much together, but Oscar is my only brother left at home now, so we've been hanging out a bit more. But not really. Beau is the funniest person in the world, and he's gonna teach me how to fly! He said he's going to buy a broomstick!

What is one thing that would surprise people to find out about you?
Uh... my friends would be totally surprised to find out I'm a witch. But I don't think that's what you mean. Okay, well, don't tell anyone this, but I'm scared of the number zero. That's really weird, cos I'm like, really good at maths and stuff, but I hate seeing that number. It's kind of the same with most circles, but especially when it's the number. But I like the letter O. Strange, I know. But yeah, I don't like most round things.

What is one thing that always makes you happy? mad?
Beau can always make me happy. And scary movies. Sometimes my little sister makes me mad cos she idolises me and copies everything I do, and she gets away with heaps of stuff cos she has downs syndrome, but mostly I just love her. But littering makes me mad. Whenever I see people drop rubbish, I get all up in their face about it.

What is your favorite color?
Grey. My friend Umran says it's not a colour, but I totally think it is. Cos it has so many different ways of being, you know? Okay, you probably don't know, but I know what I mean, and that's what's important, right?
